I'm now some 800 or so pages (at default of 15ppp, I think it is) into The Warrens of Oric the Awesome, so over the halfway point.

Finally got a big chunk of an engineering project to work! I have successfully stolen my own wireless! Then I went back and un-sabotaged the security. Don't use WPS, guys. It opens only slightly lesser holes than WEP.

In the days when Sussman was a novice, Minsky once came to him as he sat hacking at the PDP-6.
“What are you doing?”, asked Minsky. “I am training a randomly wired neural net to play Tic-Tac-Toe” Sussman replied. “Why is the net wired randomly?”, asked Minsky. “I do not want it to have any preconceptions of how to play”, Sussman said.
Minsky then shut his eyes. “Why do you close your eyes?”, Sussman asked his teacher.
“So that the room will be empty.”
At that moment, Sussman was enlightened.

Hard science is like a sword, and soft science is like fear. You can use both to equally powerful results, but even if your opponent disbelieve your stabs, they will still die.

Ah, that's the best part, WPS lets jackasses like me totally sidestep your precious WPA and WPA2. It's an alternative option that basically completely fucks your router.

EDIT: Alternative option for authentication, not encryption. Conceptually, imagine they assigned each router an 8 digit PIN that anybody could type in to get access. Now, imagine that it was really only 7 digits because the last was a checksum. Also, it's really 4 digits and 3 because the first half gets verified independently of the last.

See above post for clarification in edit-form. Also, the good news is you CAN turn it off in models that support it. Although, sometimes, it just tells you it's turned off. And it's lying.

EDIT: Also, if I had to describe the best part, it's that the offline version of the attack (the one that hasn't been neatly sidestepped by just having the router stop responding if you fuck up enough times) exploits some failures in pseudorandom number generation. In one manufacturer's case, it's really easy to determine the state of the PRNG, and it's completely deterministic. In another manufacturer's case, instead of a PNRG, they just used the number zero.

Okay, well, to make you feel actually better, most routers aren't actually vulnerable because they've implemented the "shut the fuck up" protocol if somebody tries guessing a bunch of PINs. As for the offline attack I'm so gleeful about, it's a bitch to get working and only works on routers built with chipsets from the two particular manufacturers I mentioned just now.

Oh.

Alright.

I use the ceiling! Less risk of people tripping that way.

I'll be surprised if this hasn't been shared already, but I just discovered it and it made me happy.

I'm loving the atmosphere from this little teaser.

Knowing Belgium, everyone will vote for themselves out of mistrust for anyone else, and some kind of weird direct democracy coalition will need to be formed from 11 million or so individuals.
